Calvin And Hobbes Puts Everything In Perspective

I've always found disappointment in reading "complete x" comic strip collections.

They aren't meant to be read that way and I find it really brings to the forefront the little cheats, repetitions, and gimmicks that all daily strip writers must, out of necessity, use.

I've discovered the same thing now that I frequently watch entire seasons of some TV show in a couple weeks due to the wonder of DVD. The writing, for the most part, really isn't meant to be seen in bulk over a short period of time.
